Not good not bad
Pros:

Close to the airport with small mall next to it

Cons:

It was a bit disappointing since it is Mariot hotel. As a hotel close by to the airport the shuttle was late for us . We asked for a pack breakfast and we got apple and banana and box juice. And when we are comparing to other hotels it was at the bottom of the list.

Wygodny hotel w sam raz na krótki pobyt
Pros:

Śniadanie było bardzo dobre. W pobliżu jest dużo restauracji, gdzie można dobrze zjeść

Cons:

Wszystko było w porządku. Może tylko klimatyzacja mogłaby chodzić nieco ciszej, ale to szczegół
